Walton inaugurates ACC Kappa Compressor

Walton, Bangladesh’s first and only compressor manufacturer, has launched the production of the renowned European ACC brand’s Kappa Compressor, featuring compact design, high efficiency, durability, and environmental sustainability, marking a historic milestone for Walton and the country’s industrial sector as well.

The production of compressors of the ACC brand, established in 1968, in Bangladesh will meet local demand for energy-efficient refrigerators and also play a major role in expanding Bangladesh's export market to developed countries, including Europe, according to a media release. 

On Saturday (January 31, 2026), Walton Hi-Tech Industries PLC’s Director S M Nurul Alam Rezvi and Managing Director S M Mahbubul Alam inaugurated the most advanced ACC Kappa Compressor platform at Walton Headquarters in Chandra, Gazipur.

Expressing great pride in the achievement of launching the most advanced compressor platform, S M Mahbubul Alam said, the team of Walton Research and Innovation Center bagged a great achievement by launching the production of renowned ACC Kappa Compressor with a unique combination of compact design, high efficiency, durability and environmental sustainability.

The launch of ACC Kappa Compressor is not merely the introduction of a new product, but a powerful reflection of Walton’s growing technological capability, self-reliance, and commitment to global excellence in compressor engineering, Walton MD noted, adding that the inauguration of the ACC Kappa Compressor once again proves that Bangladesh is capable of leading in world-class industrial and engineering innovation.

Compressor is the most promising industry in the hi-tech sector of Bangladesh, as S M Mahbubul Alam mentioned that the global compressor market is giant. Walton has set a target of emerging as one of the leading compressor exporters.

Already, Walton has been exporting compressors to many countries in Europe, Middle East and South Asia, he said and added that since the start of ACC Kappa compressor production, buyers from different countries of the world have been showing great interest.

This new compressor has added another crown of success to Walton's export activities, saying he hoped that the goal of exporting compressors, refrigerators, air conditioners, televisions and other products to more than 100 countries will be achieved very soon.

Speaking at the event, Walton Compressor’s Chief Business Officer S M Almas Rahman highlighted that Kappa Compressor represents a unique combination of compact design, high efficiency, durability, and environmental sustainability. With its compact size, the Kappa Compressor saves internal refrigerator space while delivering an impressive wide cooling capacity range, suitable for diverse refrigeration needs. It can meet 5 Star Energy Efficient requirements due to a very high COP above 2.15 W/W and eco-friendly performances. Designed to perform reliably under challenging power conditions, the compressor supports a wide working voltage range of 85V to 300V, enabling stable operation without additional stabilizers— particularly beneficial for rural and voltage-fluctuation-prone regions.

Additionally, its ultra-low noise level ensures quiet operation, enhancing user comfort.
